The purpose of this essay is to investigate how the official propaganda concerning the Christian holy war was constructed, legitimized and motivated according to papal bulls and one letter during 1074-1213.  One conclusion is that the official propaganda was very content rich and multifaceted. This is most obvious in the bull of pope Innocent III and least so in the letter of pope Gregory VII. The propaganda used all the analysis points I constructed through the theoretical framework and previous research except the horizontal propaganda in order to legitimize and motivate the upcoming crusades. Another important conclusion is that previous research has paid to little attention to the political or the secular aspects of the propaganda. I show that both this and the religious elements were wowen into each other in order to construct a comprehensive synthesis or a crusader ideology. And I also show that this propaganda used more biblical references from the New testament than from the Old testament, in contrast to previous research.

[pt] O tema da presente pesquisa é O Padroado Régio no Brasil e as circunscrições eclesiásticas. Está inserida nas atividades de pesquisa do Programa de PósGraduação em Teologia da PUC-Rio, área de concentração Teologia Sistemático-Pastoral, linha de pesquisa Religião e Modernidade, projeto de pesquisa História da Igreja e Modernidade: Permanências e Mudanças. O que se pretende – como objetivo principal – é investigar o que foi o Padroado Régio e qual a sua preponderância no Brasil no processo de criação das circunscrições eclesiásticas nos períodos colonial e imperial brasileiros. Nesse sentido, recorrendo primordialmente à documentação oficial coeva, investigar-se-á, por um lado, a origem do Padroado Régio ultramarino de Portugal e a sua incidência na organização circunscritiva da Igreja Católica no Brasil. Depois, uma vez proclamada a independência brasileira, como o Império do Brasil incorporou esse Padroado transformando-o no chamado Padroado Imperial e como o exercitou no que tange à ampliação do número das circunscrições eclesiásticas brasileiras para a promoção de uma maior eficácia pastoral. Faz parte ainda do escopo da pesquisa a identificação de elementos que desmitifiquem a tendência diacrônica relativa à compreensão do Padroado Régio vigente em parte da historiografia moderna, estabelecendo a partir da investigação dos documentos oficiais da época uma distinção entre a essência e a natureza do referido Padroado e as contradições relativas à sua dinâmica e ao seu exercício manifestadas ao longo da história. / [en] The subject of this research is The Royal Patronage in Brazil and the ecclesiastical circumscriptions. It is part of the research activities of the Postgraduate Program in Theology at PUC-Rio, area of concentration Systematic-Pastoral Theology, research line Religion and Modernity, research project Church History and Modernity: Permanences and Changes. What is intended - as a main objective - is to investigate what was the Royal Patronage and what was its preponderance in Brazil in the process of creating ecclesiastical circumscriptions in the Brazilian colonial and imperial periods. In this sense, using primarily coeval official documentation, the investigation will focus, on the one hand, the origin of the overseas Royal Patronage of Portugal (Padroado Régio ultramarino de Portugal) and its impact on the circumscribed organization of the Catholic Church in Brazil. Then, once Brazilian independence was proclaimed, how the Empire of Brazil incorporated this Patronage transforming it into the so-called Imperial Patronage and how it was exercised regarding the expansion of the number of Brazilian ecclesiastical circumscriptions to promote greater pastoral effectiveness. It is also part of the scope of the research to identify elements that demystify the diachronic tendency regarding the understanding of the current Royal Patronage in part of modern historiography, establishing from the investigation of the official documents of the time a distinction between the essence and the nature of the referred Patronage and the contradictions related to its dynamics and its exercise manifested throughout history.
